Great starter's list, Davis! As the "Creative Atheist" blogger for Patheos.com (and two other blogs), I've been paying close attention to more current novels by atheists [plus because I've written one myself ; )]. See, for example 3 New Books Brights Might Like. Also, Stephen Perry, who recently published his own multi-mythic (i.e., atheist/agnostic/humanist) book of poetry, has compiled a huge list of atheist books on his (our joint) site. Here are some links:

Oh, and the "36 Arguments for the Existence of God" novel isn't by Steven Pinker, but his brilliant wife, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein (I noticed that because I interviewed her for my PsychToday blog and she also liked my own novel, which was beyond kind of her).

I love everything by Saramago; Cain is a favorite, but also Blindness, All the Names, and The Cave.

It was one of the biggest losses to the world of literature and humanism when Saramago passed away. He had just perfected his craft with his two last books. I hope you enjoy The Journey of the Elephant. It isn't as focused on religion as Cain ... but it's still a super unique and fantastically written short novel. It's loosely based on a real historical event.
